① The year Edward was born into the Bennet family, Qianlong abdicated in the Forbidden City in favor of Jiaqing, and Jenner administered the first human vaccination against smallpox.
Ten years earlier, Watt had improved the steam engine and put it into use. The First Industrial Revolution had already entered its "Age of Steam" and was drawing to a close.
He had barely been born, and he had already missed his first chance to become one of the first people in human history to be a true "super-rich tycoon."
Oh! What a shame!
But it didn't matter. There was still a second chance.
Edward Bennet had also received compensation for his accidental transmigration:
An adult soul with memories of his previous life, a healthy and strong body, and a place at Eton.
First, he would attend Eton, then go on to Cambridge.
He would build and cultivate a social network, trade stocks on the London Stock Exchange, make financial investments, and build up his starting capital.
Finally, he would open the door to the Second Industrial Revolution and embrace the new world!
② Lydia Bennet had one thing she was especially proud of: out of everyone in the family, she was the least afraid of little Mr. Bennet.
They had spent the most time together. They had known each other since they were in the womb!
They shared the closest possible bond: they were twin siblings!
Little Mr. Bennet always gave her a little extra attention. This special treatment did wonders for her vanity.
Edward Bennet: Oh, dear sister, what a beautiful misunderstanding.
His real intention was to keep her in check, so she wouldn't elope and spend the rest of her life regretting it, and, more importantly, so his image as a "model gentleman" wouldn't be tarnished.
This novel is also known as: "The Bennet Family's One and Only Heir, Born into the Family, and I Speed Up the Second Industrial Revolution"

"I Became a Super-Rich Tycoon During the Industrial Revolution"
Reading guide:
① The canon couples will stay together, except Lydia. The main storyline follows Edward's career.
② There is a female lead, but she doesn't take up much of the story.
③ The author is trying to pay tribute to the original's dialogue style. If the male lead comes across as preachy or like a feudal patriarch, that's entirely the author's fault.
④ The male lead is a little showy, a little "hypocritical," somewhat selfish, and intensely ambitious.
Theme: Back to Field
I really don't know whether having a boy as the protagonist is a good thing or a bad thing for the Bennet sisters. I thought the dilemma faced by the Bennet sisters was that they had no brothers and everything in the family had to be inherited by outsiders. Later, when Jane Austen found out that she didn't have any dowry, her parents felt very aggrieved but they had to save money for her brother. Later, I learned that brothers can also drive away sisters. After leaving the house, the husband can freely control his wife's dowry unless the trust proceeds, which is outrageous because of the times and the law. Now that there is a male protagonist, his existence makes the mother and sisters less worried, and his character will not make the sisters homeless. However, the inclination of love and resources in life may make them get less, and they feel complicated! After Napoleon's defeat, a large amount of gold and securities could be collected, right?
Awesome, the male protagonist has already transferred so much money, why didn't he tell his parents and sisters earlier, especially the mother, because of what she did for her sisters' dowry, she felt like she was picking on her daughter, and she even had nerve pain! 🐶🌹
Okay, it's well written, keep it up❤️
